The toilets of the woods. mountains

have very fine white nuns yelling for
the basque and draperieS over skirt of
French mOire, either plain. killed or box
pleated. On some of these costumes
lace is also used with more or less pro-
fusion. Silk grenadines in delicate
tones. with crinkled stripes alternating
with lace. are now used for yelling plain
foundation skirts of silk of the same
color. the draperieS and basque being
composed of bright colored India silk
Skirts made wholly of lace for the time

liking is apparent toward marquiSe
lace. which is in special IA

decidedly pleasing and novel. Lace and
iet are favored decorations for black
silk. The most snowy of India silk and
foulard costumes just now are made of
red China silk trimmed with black
cbantilly or point d'esprit lace. The
latter is French lace, having clear
ground with little square dots washed
over it, either singly or in clusters,
which forms squares or diamonds. In
dresses for late summer wear, the new

Crimson of clover, purple of kings,

Beautiful. dainty, wonderful things.
Leaves that in summer were sun-kissed and
green,
Patient through all the whitening heat
Leaves that in fall are counted as mean,
COut in the cold, and under ones feet.
Are leaves so common and beauty so old,
Our hearts so tender and hands so strong,
That promise of scarlet and blessing of gold.
Should be trampled and crushed by us all

Promises read as if written in sand,
BY you and by me, who are thoughtless to-

That are green IN the first place, and
crushed at last.
Ever quite make up for the sunshine past.
O heart! your wonder is foolish and vain;
Your thoughts and your song are all out of
tune,
For smiled on by sunshine and tended by
rain,
'Tis easy to rustic and keep green in June.
Only God knows how hard it's when low in
the dust
: To make bittersweets scarlet with no ray
of light;
God does know-the God who is loving and
just
And somehow, or somewhere, will make it
all right"

New Princeton REVIEW.
Hundreds of bodies freshly smeared
with blood of men who, two hours previ-
Gus, had been filled with divers lofty or
petty hopes and desires, now lay with
stiffened limbs in the dewy, fiOwery
valley which separated the baStiOn from
the trench and on the level floor of the
chapel for the dead in SevastOpOol; :;
hundreds of men crawled, twisted and
groaned with curses and prayers on
their parched lips, some amidst
the cOrpSes in the flOwer-sUrewn
vale. others on stretchers, on cots,
and on the blood-stained floor of the
hospital; and still, as on the days pre-
ceding, the red dawn burned over
Mount Sapun, the twinkling stars paled,
the white mist spread abroad from the
dark, sounding sea, the red glow illu-
minated the east; long, crimson cloud
lets darted across the bright blue hori-
zon; and still, as on days preceding,
the powerful, all-beautiful sun rose up,
giving promise of joy, love and happi-
ness to all who dwell in the world.

1t is quite the thing for ladies to go
bare-handed this dreadful Summer. Kid
gloves are simply impossible. and silk
ones after day or evening of this reign
Ofhumidity are sticky and unbearable.
The mittS that come now are like black
silk plaSterS. Some years ago there
were charming cObwebby things. as
delicate as any thread lace, and they
could be endured: but the mittS fash
iOnable at present are of solid heavy
silk, and not much more comfortable
than a bandage for Il Sprain would
be, or splints for break. You can
lower the temperature of your body
several degrees by running cold water
on your wrists. Certainly wearing hot
things about them will increase the heat
in the same degree. a great relief is
found in rolling up ones sleeves, and it
is something lovely to 90 without gloves
and wear your dress sleeves half way to
the elbow without any horrid cuffs or
fussy ruchings. Ali ruchings have
more or less stiffening in them, and
they resolve themselves jatO paSty
strings five minutes after they are
basted in this weather.

achievement. Many others are en-
gagged upon similar schemes, and
there is sincere talk of found
ing a parachute club, some of the
enthusiasts believing that parachutes
will furnish eventually the first step
toward aerial lOcOmOtiOn. But para
chuting" is by no means confined to the
scientists and crankS of the city. Every
other boy in the city has the craze, and
it is no uncommon thing for a boy to
Jump from the roof of a piazza or an
upper window by the aid of huge UNI
brella, which occasionally turns inside
out, and lets the youth down with a
speed that is not enjoyed by the infan-
tile aerOnaut. Then the boys have in
vented toy parachuteS, some of paper,
others of cloth, These are caught at
the corners by strings which converge
to a small weight. By throwing them
into the air they spread out and sail
smoothly down. SO general has this
practice become that parachutes hang
on wires and trees all over the city. Of
course there have been numerous acct
dents. and there will be more broken
limbs and heads before the youth of the
town cease to emulate Baldwin. Per-
hapS before the surgeons cease reaping
their harvest among the boys the under
takers will be-in reaping theirs among
the adult parachutiStS.
Baldwin has been the lion of the day,
week and month in Quincy. His Fourth
of July plunge did him up for week,
for, although he appeared all right, he
was daZed and so sore that locOmOtiOn
was difficult In the meantime hOnorS
were flying in upon him. Society
friends decorated him with a medal,
and others outside the vail on Saturday
presented him another medal the size
of liver pad. This latter was studied
with diamonds, and, in case of neceS-
sity, will he highly respected by his
''uncle." To cap the climax, another
''Set'' of friends presented with check
for 800. In presenting this money a
prominent attorney said, among other
things:
The most casual observer cannot fail
to catch glimpse of the great field of
research and discovery lying in your
pathway. The countless ships that

cry of Thomas 5. Baldwin the principles
that shall insure their triumphant sue
cess. Their hosts of passengers may
pursue their aerial voyages with the
ever present reStful thought that Bald
win has provided a safe descent to
Mother Earth in times of accident or
peril. No man who has given thought
to the progress of physical science in
our day can say with knowledge of
truth that here or there is a point or
line beyond which human Ingenuity
may not go. The limit may seem to be
here or it may seem to be there, but it

THE ROMANCE OF A CREST.
The perfumed note paper upon which
dinner invitation that reached me the
other day was written, bore at the top a
very pretty crest, representing a hen
with an egg held between his claws.
At the bottom was signed the name of
young society woman with whom am
on terms of quite intimate acquaint-
ance. remarked the crest as some
thing new, and so, upon finding myself
st her table, asked my fair hostess in
a jOcular way, whence she had obtained
it and what its SignificatiOn might be.
You are very rude to put such
question:" she replied, laughingly.
Luckily, however, [ can answer it
purchased at Stationer'S shop, but is
mine by right. / came across it by
mere chance some weeks ago while
sorting over the contents of an old
trunk, which once belonged to my
lamented grandpa. The story connected
with its design was familiar to me from
childhood. 1t is true one, | believe,
and sufficiently extraordinary to be
amusing. Theree centuries ago, it
was ~ shut t. up in dungeon
cell by powerful enemy, who left him
to die by slow starvation. Water was
given him, but not an ounce of food.
On this diet he grew thin, but, strange
to say, at the end of month was alive
and well. Another month passed, and
still he survived, i'll apparently good
health. When three months had gone
by his prosecutor died, and he was set
free, emaciated but vigorous. The mir
acle was easily explained. A hen from
the jailer's yard had secretly made its
nest in the recess of the single barred
window, which admitted light to the
dungeon. Each day it laid an egg, and
thus supplied the prisoner with a nutri-
tiOuS meal. Subsequently my ancestor
was ennObled, and for his crest he
adopted the device you observed upon
my letter paper"
DETETIC FRIPPERIES.
The weakness exhibited by the fe-
male of our species for dietetic fripper-
les has long been a favOrite subject Of
masculine Jest. My own impression is,
however, that men are not less fond of
goodies" than women, They do not
eat quite as much ice cream and candy,
perhaps. but they make it up in other
ways. In order to save money for
poker, whisky and other luXuries
which, through long habit, have be-
come necessary to my enjoyment of eX-
istence, l take my nOon-tide meal each

opportunities given me for observation.
My attention has been particularlycalled
to the large consumption of sweets and
other desserts by the men who patrOniZe
these eating house. Most of them are
employed at small salaries in the shops
and offices OF the business quarter.
Fifteen or 20 cents is, as a rule, their
maximum expenditure; but however
frugal their bill of fare, it invariably
includes pudding, pastry or ice cream.
Even the ShOp-b0y, who has but cents
wherewith to fill a large and arching
void, invests his nickel in a quarter of a
pie, and the half starved counterhopper,
ecOnomizing upon a palpable Insufficient

a plate of soup with some trif1e after
ward to a good big help of some meat

girls, that your male acquaintances are
quite as fond of saccharine ''fXings' as
yourselves. They simply dissemble
their liking for such things because
they have an absurd notion that indulg-
ence i'll them is symptom of effeminacy.
